Which rooms are great for plantation shutters?

Plantation shutters are excellent for letting light in when you want to illuminate a room but also great for privacy.

For these reasons kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, dens and studies all make ideal places to put your custom kirtz shutters. When your shopping for custom interior shutters it’s important to know if they’re truly custom built, like Kirtz, or if they come from a stock panel and cut them to fit. The prices can be similar so make sure that your getting the best from Kirtz.

Make sure your getting the original shutters.

Many people don’t know that Traditional Shutters are no the same as plantation shutters. Often the Traditional Shutters will have the smaller, narrower louvers and usually they’re found in New England. Because trends have changed Traditional Shutters have gone out of style, Plantation Shutters let more light in and preserve the view to the outside much better. People may also be surprised to learn that the Spanish introduced shutters when they colonized the America’s. The large homes on the plantations in the South of the America’s would often use the wide louvered type of shutter, hence the name of the shutters we use today.
